Hi All,
I changed ethernet card, and chose to retain the config for the previous one, and now when booting, get a mac address is different igonoring, msg or something to that effect, and upon booted, doing a ifconfig shows nothing for the new card. What cmd do I issue, to make the OS see the new card? Cheers.

Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX to reflect the correct MAC address.

Remove the HWADDR= line from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 if it exists). Then 'ifup eth0' or reboot.
